Several bird shots from todays efforts

[Canon_Bob]

As near as I can tell, this forum is 5 shots per day. I shot a lot today, but here is a sampling. I'll post some alligator shots tomorrow. My EXIF data is embedded in the images, and can be viewed using Opanda or a similar product. I've included links to the original size under a few of them (where the original is significantly more detailed than the smaller forum image). Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum, and I hope you enjoy these:

This is a Wood Stork. Endangered species, and one of my favorite birds:

Just 5 images per post. You can reply to your own thread and post more images that way. Or start another thread (for different subjects). No limits otherwise.

Great work here.

I have a large preserve behind my home. I went out there and set up some feeders, and built a photo blind near the feeders. All kinds of different species come in. The sound of the camera sometimes frightens them, but other than that, they don't even know I'm there. I shot that bobwhite at about 7 feet with a 100-400L.
